You go girl!!! im so jealous i wish i could be working on my weight loss :/ right now im on strict bed rest because i just got diagnosed with IC, an incompetent cervix so its already at a 2 and we're trying to keep baby in there =( loved seeing you though i had to catch up on your vids!
Not meaning to offend at all, but were you okay when you were making this vlog? You just seem to be a little ...errr...manic, talking fast and jigging around and on the verge of tears at time.
As I said, I don't mean to offend and perhaps I'm completely misreading signs, but you're not suffering PND again are you?
@melkingcat Seriously!? You though I was on the verge of tears!? lol I'm perfectly fine here! Just tired. It was like 8 in the morning and we'd just woken up. That's all :o)
Yes, I can tell you've lost weight...even your face is looking thinner. You look great! I'm sure if you can't work out everyday its a workout just taking care of 2 young boys lol! Glad you guys are doing well :)

You know what helps me remember things. I use the calendar on my iphone. You can put any appointments or anything in there and it will reminder you a day, week or have ever many hours before. Hope this helps ;D
wow he is so cute .and getting big hes so adorable ? should i be worried that my 18 month old is 33inches and 23 lbs :( my dr hasn't said anything but now i wonder if hes too skinny what do you think ?
Hah! I like the last line "so Trip can smoosh some more cheese into the floor" I'm well aware of that in my house, glad we have floors and not carpet! Thanks for the idea of netflix, I never even THOUGHT about that, love the idea of 10 mins work outs! Can you tell me some of your favorites, are they the Instant play or the actual DVDs?? I'm trying to lose that last 10 post baby lbs and can't seem to, no time as a grad student and parent of a two year old.
@lizzardkat I just do the 10 minute pilates videos, on instant Netflix on our Wii! Each video that offers the ten minute sessions, has 5 ten minutes sessions on the video. So you can do one or two or all of them! All at once, or with breaks in between!
You can totally tell you are one busy mommy !! And an awesome mom on top of it !! I think that feeling better in your clothes is more important than pounds as far as I am concerned ! We have Netflix, I should really try to do that as well... Blake and I have gained weight lately !! Haha... I feel the same way about cleaning :) However my two year old is Blake :)
@InformationMommy Yea, we do Netflix on the Wii and I was SO excited to see all the workout videos they offer!! Hey.. it doesn't matter what age the child is, they will find a way to mess up a clean house lol!!
Welcome to being a mom of 2......and no it doens't get easier. I am a new mom of three and all I can say idk what was I thinking? lol..j/k I love my kids super duper, but I couldn't imagine making vlogs and doing all that you too. I made one video and it took a whole week to get done lol.
Your doing great though Lora, you got your priorities straight, so good for you :D Keep it up woman.
Have you thought about baby wearing? It will give you your two hands back. LOL I love the update but you can always make the weekly videos and the vlogs shorter since you don't have lots of time. I mean I love them any length just thinking that might help. Hang in there! I know 2 under 2 is so hard! I am a nanny for 3 and bring my own with me. I understand the NONE STOP ACTION!
@stephmatswife I do wear him a lot :o) I talked in the vlog about how I usually have him in the carrier or moby wrap to do my chores around the house lol! But I don't wear him all day because my back gets super sore!
lol i know what you mean by cleaning every second! haha my son never was the clingy type...until he hit 13months and now i cant even go get a drink of water without him wanting to be held! ( btw hes 19 months now) but anyways i tottally get what ur sayin lol
I have a question. What time does Declan go to bed for the night? My baby is 2 weeks younger and we put our first to bed so much earlier than I put her. Maybe cause it's busier with 2 but she goes to bed at like 9ish and i feel like it could be earlier.
@ecmomma Declan goes to bed around 7. I try to keep him up later sometimes (in hopes that he'll sleep past 6) but I usually can't. He's usually passed out around 7pm.
FAV. PART @ 7:44....lora ur awesome :) i totally feel ya on everything you said in this blog :):):):):):) too bad we dont live in the same town or state, i can totally relate to you on having 2 kids and blah blah blah lol it would just be nice to have a friend like you close
Tripp loves v-logging. Duckie is watching Tripp. Girl take your time with the posting of videos, taking care of you and the boys. Spending time with your boys and Layton is more important then making/posting videos, even though some make a BIG deal out of people posting videos often.
you seemed amped and slightly winded in this video LOL I hate when I get like that. when I feel like rushed and over whelmed and GOTTA WORK but just can't because being a mom is so BUSY! lol You doing a great job Lora! Your a great mom!
Your looking really well hun, you should be really proud of yourself, especially as its been the festive food season! By the way, I watched your haters vid the other day and I couldnt find where to comment on it, but I just wanted to say ignore the haters, your positivity is not a bad thing it is really inspiring to me as im also a young mum (im 20 and I have a 20 month old, Im getting married his dad in june) and I have realised its no bad thing! your positivity makes me feel more positive :)xx
Congrats to you for losing the weight! You look beautiful no matter what though. I need to do that too. Are you doing this by yourself? I can never seem to diet by myself...I need a support system...someone who does it with me. Props to you if you're doing it alone. Thats awesome!
@tgrkuty07 I am doing it alone! It's hard, but I want to lose the weight so badly, I push thru it lol! My family is supportive though. When we go to my in-law's for supper, they always make sure to have salad and chicken and brown rice and things I can eat! It's so nice and helpful!
Your very welcome :) I have 2 potty training right now LOL Omg its really hard potty training boys !!! They fight who is gonna use the potty first ...! My little girl was potty trained when she was 26months so she was very good .I wish you guys the best of luck and Hope u and your family have a wonderful an safe New years .. an again you are a rocking strong moma !!!
@10deux24 Thanks so much! Good luck with potty training TWO boys!! Wow!! I hear boys are harder to train than girls. The average boy isn't potty trained until he's between 2.5 and 3. Tripp still isn't ready! But we've got potties for him and he knows what they're for, so we're getting there lol
@Loraandlayton Yea it is harder to train boys LOL.. They are so hard headed its unreal lol My 3 year old tells me all the time mama i gotta pee ! so me or his daddy take him to the bathroom and he laughs so hard and still doesn't pee he thinks its so funny to sit on his potty chair .. My 2 year old boy is getting much better he still has some accident's but its only normal .. I hope trippy does good with potty training and good luck again :) ..
What I've found about working out....Weights! Ever since I started doing weights my metabolism has skyrocketed. So many women are scared to use weights or don't enjoy it, but muscle IS your metabolism and it will burn fat while you are sitting on the couch, so I highly recommend adding weights. Declan's hair looks reddish :) He's so adorable! Cleaning is overrated. Have a great new years!
@lemondropsforever Oh definitely! I do have small weights and I use them when the pilates videos call for them. Getting your metabolism up has everything to do with working out muscles and the best way to do that is with weights! Haha cleaning is totally overrated ;o)
Just a suggestion, I have heard it done & i plan to do it when my son gets a litle older too..Make it a routine with Tripp that its clean up time right b4 daddy gets home. Then at least you have something to show for it & it gets the kids in a habit of cleaning up after them selves...& them you don't have to feel like you have to do it all day. Anyway luv ya girl, hope this helps.
@AzulSaphire We actually already do that :o) I have Tripp help and he always feels so good about himself :o) It's usually pretty organized before Layton gets home and Tripp loves helping me!! But for me, I just get stressed when the house is cluttered :o/ So I kind of feel like I have to clean all day, in order to relax lol!
Lora i so know wat you mean about the cleaning! im a nanny and i look after 3 boys and it seems like i clean and then 10 seconds later its a total pit again!
fab video as ever, your boys r just so super cute and u r looking great!!
with ref to cleaning, there is a funny saying u might like........... Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing Is like shovelling snow while it's still snowing.
Are you alright Lora? You just look... odd. Sad or something, like you've been crying. Maybe not but if you are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated or anything, just talk to your loved ones about it xx
Good luck on your weight loss journey (not that I think you need it- your beautiful). My fav part of this video is the look on your face when Tryp starts making a loud noise and your just kind of smiling and looking around waiting for him to stop! lol
U are losing weight yay! I could really see the difference from recent vids from the one when you guys went to that corn field or something like that... u look much smaller =) and i dont think im ready to say goodbye to tripps rolls... at least Wexter's leg rolls are comin' in and here to say!
LOL at the swaying! I find myself doing that ALL the time and all I can think of is how I would always wonder why on earth my memaw would always sway when she was around us kids. She would sing/hum and sway! Guess it's because we're mom's now haha!
haha.. you have to clean the house.. get rıd of the dırt and dust ıs a must :)) ıt can be messy but clean. you know what ı mean :))) ı clean everyday, and fıve seconds later my lıttle one messes up agaın. but at least the dust ıs removed and the floor ıs vacuumed. and here ın Turkey, expect a company any tıme so I have to be ready at all tımes! :)) cute vıdeo wıth you forgettıng everythıng :)))
You're so awesome, Lora. My mom sways too! (I'm the youngest and I'm 20.) She still sways. I notice I'll sway too. Must be a comfort thing and I must have been a "swayer baby" haha. :) You rock. Keep up the great work. I'm exactly the same way with the scale. It's all about how my clothes fit, not about numbers.
HAha remind me why I clean, too!!! You are sooo right about that!! YOu look so fabulous btw. Love it and Love YOU!! Oh, LOL Peyton is the EXACT same size as Tripp, both height and weight!!
"I'm going to go now so the kids can eat. And so Tripp can smush some more cheese on the floor." That made me laugh! =D Lora you do an amazing job cranking out these videos, so you are so not slacking! It's amazing how you get it done with everyday life, raising two little ones. But you're doing an awesome job with Tripp and Declan. You should be proud! And yay on being a pants size smaller. Keep up the good work. =o)
Declan is such a freaking cutie!! I love his serious little face - studying the world - he is so adorable! Your hair is getting longer too, looks great. Hehe chasing after the boys is plenty of exercise ;)
@krissybug104 Well, we TRIED like everything lol! Nothing worked haha! He's still clingy, but not nearly as much. I think he's just becoming a little more comfortable with this big world now!
I sway and I don't normally hold any babies, lol. I have forever. I have no idea why, I just feel comfortable doing so. That is awesome about Netflix having pilates! I had no clue they have exercise things now. I am going to have to check that out!
I soooo know what you mean about cleaning the house and then 2 seconds later the kids mess it up. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old and its IMPOSSIBLE to have a clean house...LOL. Half the time i just dont even bother...haha.
We realize it's tough for you to make your videos to share with us. :) Take care and don't stress to get a video out. I know you enjoy it, though, so just take your time. The boys are looking great!
@janciepants Thanks so much! I just want to try and update when ppl ask for it and I want to answers y'all's questions. I feel bad when I go too long without vlogging!
because it's stressful to have a messy house when u have to live in it i'm the same cleaning all day long after my kids! there 5yrs 16months and 6wks :)
Duckie is soooo cute....It is hard to keep your house clean no matter what age...LOL...I have 2 girls ages 12,9,and 6....and they still mess up the house in 5 seconds.....
I love watching your videos....Having no time is the life of a wonderful mama.....
Oh I can so agree with you about the cleaning!!! I have an 8yr old and a 4 yr old and as soon as the place is clean it means time to play a messy game lol...
I dont think the kids ever stop eating as my two are exactly the same. Growing all the time and wanting to snack all the time.
Declan is so sweet through the Vlog he was looking at the camera like "what is that??" the whole time!!!
Great to see you looking so well, and having so much fun being Mummy......
You are so brave having a recorder in the house! I had to hide ours..from my HUSBAND! He likes to blow it in my ear to sound like a mosquito..I'm gonna send it to you!
If it helps, I had to stop and start your vlog about ten times in between changing evas nappy, the phone etc and I'm now typing this whilst pumping haha
With my last birth of my son i weighed 209 pounds and it has took me off and on for two years to lose 51pounds ~! I have 3 lil ones a 4 year 3 year and 2 year old! I try and exercise atleast twice a week ! but the lil ones take all of my time and i know about the whole cleaning thing lol I can clean my livingroom and within 2 to 3 hours later it looks like a toy train come thur and dropped toys every where Good luck on everything and btw i can tell you have lost weight you look wonderful!
@10deux24 Thank you so much!! Yea, it is really hard to find that extra time to workout. I can't imagine having another child on top of it!! Kuddos to you!
@rocksursocksoff19 Depends on your editing software. I usually just use Windows Movie Maker and there are very simple options to upload a picture or video clip.
Baby gets what baby wants ALWAYS lol :) I have no idea why I clean the house William is 11 months old and holy cow he's wide open! Love your shirt! D is such a QT!
@MooMaar14 i was gonna say the same thing lora said. not everyone has a scale. i just took ours out because i was getting soooo obsessed with numbers it was unhealthy. good job lora! :)
u seem like a really energetic person so i bet u have always fidgeted even before u had kids. its funny cus fidgeting and such burns calories. i am always moving. i noticed it especially when in videos i am moving my leg haha.not trying to be rude but u seem kinda tired. i hope u have the chance to take some time for yourself to relax. gee i wonder why you would be tired? haha
aww love Declan's Shirt ..hehe :) & i know exactly what you mean on the cleaning thing..its so overwhelming.. im like NEVER done cleaning.. i have a 3 yr old and a 11 month old. and all i do is clean clean clean then turn around and do it all over again..but like u said thats life.. its motherhood! :) your boys are gettn so big :0 love the videos..byebye
D looks sooo cute! He is growing so fast. I love your updates :) I know what you mean about the working out. I am trying to work my arms- prep for when I have this baby :)
Your hair looks soo good Lora, its a fresh new look...Your lucky, you can pull off both long and short hair....I was wondering, how do you get it to look SO healthy?
Is it because you have naturally straight hair, and you don't put much heat damage on it?
I know what you mean with constantly having to stop and start! I think Motherhood is all about somehow focusing on your original path of thought and somehow trying to get back to it from all the distractions LOL
I so wish it was an over night thing Lora lovely :D Thanks so much for the pep talk I'm on day 21 on eating heathly but have not made time to work out but Im gonna you have talked me into it lol Great update as usual Your awesome xxx
Julian has a onsie like Declan's that says "#1 with the ladies," Love it! :o) People always point out to me that I sway back and forth all the time. lol
when you are just chilling with your family if you dont have netflix,you should get it

Good luck on your weight loss journey (not that I think you need it- your beautiful). My fav part of this video is the look on your face when Tryp starts making a loud noise and your just kind of smiling and looking around waiting for him to stop! lol

LOL at the swaying! I find myself doing that ALL the time and all I can think of is how I would always wonder why on earth my memaw would always sway when she was around us kids. She would sing/hum and sway! Guess it's because we're mom's now haha!

You're so awesome, Lora. My mom sways too! (I'm the youngest and I'm 20.) She still sways. I notice I'll sway too. Must be a comfort thing and I must have been a "swayer baby" haha. :) You rock. Keep up the great work. I'm exactly the same way with the scale. It's all about how my clothes fit, not about numbers.

"I'm going to go now so the kids can eat. And so Tripp can smush some more cheese on the floor." That made me laugh! =D Lora you do an amazing job cranking out these videos, so you are so not slacking! It's amazing how you get it done with everyday life, raising two little ones. But you're doing an awesome job with Tripp and Declan. You should be proud! And yay on being a pants size smaller. Keep up the good work. =o)

I sway and I don't normally hold any babies, lol. I have forever. I have no idea why, I just feel comfortable doing so. That is awesome about Netflix having pilates! I had no clue they have exercise things now. I am going to have to check that out!

Oh I can so agree with you about the cleaning!!! I have an 8yr old and a 4 yr old and as soon as the place is clean it means time to play a messy game lol...
I dont think the kids ever stop eating as my two are exactly the same. Growing all the time and wanting to snack all the time.
Declan is so sweet through the Vlog he was looking at the camera like "what is that??" the whole time!!!
Great to see you looking so well, and having so much fun being Mummy......

Your hair looks soo good Lora, its a fresh new look...Your lucky, you can pull off both long and short hair....I was wondering, how do you get it to look SO healthy?
Is it because you have naturally straight hair, and you don't put much heat damage on it?
